Nothing But A Breeze (Live At The Bijou Cafe, Philadelphia, May 26, 1977) - Jesse Winchester
Life is just too short for some folks
And for other folks it just drags on
Some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
Others figure tea's too strong
Well I'm the type of guy who wants to ride
The middle
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth
Hhhhmmmm aah
Me I want to live with my feet in dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
In a small suburban garden hmm aahh
Not a single neighbour knows our name
I know the woman wishes we would move some place
Where the houses aren't all the same
Would just I wish you would take me where the grass is
Greener
I couldn't really say without may be
I know a some place high on a montain top
Down by the deep blue sea yeah
And there we we do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze oooh
And one day I'll be old gray grandpa hmmm
And all the pretty girls will call me Sir
And now where they're asking me how things are
Well soon they'll ask me how things burn
Well I don't mind being an old gray grandpa
As long as you'll be my gray grandma
But I wish we would move with our tea and
Cookies
To the shade of the old pawpaw
And there we would do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze ahhh
And life is just too short for some folks
And for other folks it just drags on
And some folks like the taste of smokey whiskey
And others figure tea's too strong
Well I'm the type of guy who wants to ride
Down the middle
I don't like all this bouncing back and forth yeah
But me I want to live with my feet in dixie
And my head in the cool blue north
Me I want to live with my feet in dixie
And my head in the cool blue north hmm
Me I want to live with my great big feet in dixie
And my head up in the cool blue north
Ohhhhhhhh
